State police say "Snowflake," a suspected prostitute, stole a man's car early Sunday and ran over his leg while he was trying to retrieve it.

"Snowflake," later identified as 34-year-old Jennifer Lynn Harp of Woodbrooke Drive in Salisbury, met the victim at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post on West Main Street earlier in the evening Sept. 10, according to charging documents. Harp and the victim went to his cousin's home on Duke Drive to "hang out," the documents stated.

But the "hanging out" was cut short after Harp asked the man for $20 for sex, according to state police. The victim didn't want to pay for sex so he agreed to take Snowflake back to the bar, lower court records show.

Just before leaving for the bar, state police say that while the victim urinated behind the vehicle, Harp became agitated about him declining to give her $20.

Harp then slid over to the driver's seat, put the vehicle in gear and drove off just before the victim could get back into the car, records show.

The victim ran after Harp, catching up to her at the intersection of Ocean Gateway and Marquis Avenue, according to the records. State police say he opened the driver's side door and tried to throw her out, but Harp punched and kicked him several times before hitting the gas and speeding off, charging papers show.

The victim held onto Harp as the vehicle dragged him; he pulled out his red pocket knife and hit her in the leg as the vehicle was moving, state police said. Due to the high rates of speed, troopers say the victim let go and his leg was run over by the vehicle. Harp continued east onto Ocean Gateway, driving into the median at one point, according to the victim's statement.

At 1:27 a.m. Sept. 11, the victim reported the theft to a trooper still wearing his "ripped, torn and destroyed" pants and shirts, according to the charging documents.

About 30 minutes later, the trooper spotted the victim's stolen Lincoln LS in the area of North Salisbury Boulevard and Naylor Street in Salisbury swerving and moving north, records show. The troopers checked the license plate, matched it to one provided to the victim and pulled up beside the car to see the woman described by the victim as a "white female, in her early to mid-30s, missing several front teeth and wearing a bandanna," state police said.

Upon seeing Harp driving the vehicle, the trooper turned on his lights and siren. But the Lincoln didn't stop, according to the charging records. She eventually slammed on the brakes and struck a curb at the intersection of Homer Street and North Salisbury Boulevard, state police said.

Prior to being taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for treatment of a cut on her leg, Harp admitted to the trooper she took the car because she was scared and "didn't know what to do," according to charging record.

The trooper did note the smell of booze on her breath, records show.

Harp was later charged with first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, unlawful taking of a vehicle, theft between $1,000 and $10,000 in value, malicious destruction of property and prostitution. She was being held at the Wicomico County Detention Center on $60,000 bond.
